We are very sad to inform you that our dear friend Siva Nadarajah passed
away a few days ago.To us he was not only a great teacher and
generous host, but most of all a friend for the whole community in Austria and everybody who has ever met him will miss him. Our thoughts are with his family.

We hope that many of you will have time to join us to say our good byes as Touch Austria.

Yesterday new and old players, active and inactive members of Touch Austria gathered at the ACC to say good bye to Siva as a group. After some touching words by Phil we cheered to Siva one last
time. Harlan then invited us in a symbolic gesture to take a few minutes time and pick some weeds off Siva's beloved and most carefully tended lawn. With so many hands we managed to fill up to
big bags full of dandelions and weeds. The atmossphere was silent and reflective but lively. Then we threw some friendly balls, played Touch in Siva's spirit and had beers afterwards. That's the
way he always wanted us to do it.

In case you missed yesterday there are two more chances to say goodbye to Siva, You can join us on Monday (May 20th) at ACC for a Sri Lankan goodbye ceremony or on Saturday (May 25th) at 9:00 at
the Friedhof Oberlaa.
